REALLY tired of hearing the announcer go on and on about Mark Richt's job
"That catch is huge for Richt's future"... WTF?

No, our defense really is that bad. We lost all three starting linebackers (two are in the NFL), and a very good defensive end. There was zero pressure by the front seven all day. I'm also thinking Manny Diaz was the real mastermind of our defense last year, but I will withhold judgement on coaching for now due to lack of talent. LSU is going to kill us next week, and, after watching the USC East game today, Lattimore will have a field day. This was my greatest fear coming into the season, and it is proving true.
That sack and fumble return for a TD was huge for Richt's future. Or lack thereof (at Gerogia, at least)
I just want to say this about the SEC refs: When Jackie Sherrill was at MSU, he always said you had to be good enough to beat the other team and the officials. After our game today, the SEC officials coordinator Steve Shaw said the following about a controversial 4th down call that went Auburn's way:
Here is a pic of what the officials saw:

What a game that was, had my heart pumping! Shoelace got his nickname cuz he always keeps his shoelaces untied. Whatever works lol.
Your offense is proof that recruiting rankings are meaningless.
^^ You know how they say the funniest jokes are the ones that are true?
Yep, that about sums it up.
Honestly, can you think of any other school, anywhere, that has had to go through as much ******** to leave a conference as A&M has? What's the point of even having bylaws and exit fees if one pissant private school (that never belonged in the conference in the first place) can threaten a TRILLION DOLLAR lawsuit (I did not make that number up) that grinds everything to a halt.
Ridiculous. I read the other day that A&M is exploring being independent for one year if Baylor and OU hold things up too long. That's how sick of the Big 12 we are. Baylor is really only hurting themselves in the long run, but I guess when you're a nothing school with a nothing program that offers just that, you've got nothing to lose.
On humorous note, remember the "rivalry" with A&M that Baylor just can't stand to lose? They sold a whopping 800ish tickets to the game at Kyle Field this year. They returned more than 3000 unsold visitor tickets this week. Out of all our opponents, only Idaho bought fewer. That's right, SMU and Kansas both bought more than our "rivals" that are only 80 miles away. Pathetic.
dmr727, I think that was the best comment I've seen in all the years I've been in this thread. If there was a prize, you'd win it.
Utah USC
Sorry for the delay badandy.
I was a bit disappointed with the loss, but I thought it was a heck of a game. The blocked field goal at the end was a dagger to the heart as I was (obviously) hoping for OT.
USC looked really athletic out there on Saturday and I honestly thought they were the all around better team. I was happy with Utah's defense and was glad to see the 3 turnovers that kept us in the game. Our offense has some issues and I hope they pick it up for our game against BYU this week.
Anyway, if the other PAC games rise to the quality of Saturday night, I will be a happy man. It's a great time to be a Ute.

Absolutely! Even if you have a losing season there's always that giant stack of money to make everything better!
Sorry, I'm just jealous....
I wish I had your optimism, but LSU has beaten it out of me, especially after watching our defense's horrible performance vs. Auburn. I think LSU went and found some voodoo priestess in the swamp and had her make a Bully voodoo doll or put a curse on us. We have lost 11 straight vs. LSU, 18 of the last 20. Even when they sucked in the 90s (Gerry DiNardo, anyone?) and we were good, we couldn't beat them. I don't get it.
Anyway, on to a couple of other things: I guess Boise decided to join the big boys by going on probation. What's up with that, gEEk?
I find this story very amusing. It seems Texas is now begging the ACC, of all conferences, to let them join. All I have to say is HA-HA!
Edit: I just wanted to throw out this link discussing some of the odd offenses used at lower level colleges. It's good reading for real football nerds.

Your QB is baffling. He doesn't move when he should and gets dropped. I don't get it. And then he throws another pick... He's like two seconds behind in reaction time..

If you read the list of "violations" you'll see how mind boggling this whole thing is. First of all, the football violations were all very minor. Of all programs, it was women's tennis that screwed us. Apparently the idiot coach let a girl play before she was even enrolled back in, like 2008. It was a supposed $5,000 over the course of five years, and involving 63 athletes. And I say "supposed" because the NCAA put ridiculous values on new recruits sleeping on players' couches, and rides to the airport. Seriously?? It's so effed up.

Welcome to the wonderful world of NCAA probation. The punishments are completely random and arbitrary.
Anyway, Relf is weird. The guy can run like crazy, and is tough to bring down. He has come a long way in the past couple of years, but there are many times when he seems to have zero pocket awareness. He seems to go from one extreme to the other: sometimes taking off and running too soon, and other times holding on to the ball way too long.
lack of intelligence
I wonder why they allow Relf to call his own plays? Doesn't seem to be working. He must not be effective in drop back passing situations.
He isn't calling his on plays. When the offense comes to the line, you can see him looking to the sidelines for the play. When stuff breaks down, though, you can see he has issues making the right decision. I think what happened is they have tried to stop him from just taking off and running when his primary receiver isn't open, and now he tends to sit in the pocket trying to make reads and gets hit.
